it has been such a special treat to know George and his family. many a day was made better because of the way all treated me. I first worked with George over the phone to get items I needed. it was quite a while before I was actually able to put faces to the voices of such wonderful people at m-1. if the world was more like George and his family the world would be so very blessed. may you all be comforted and blessed with peace. my sincere sympathy to one and all.

Lou,
I will always remember your dad and the stories he shared with me. Like growing up with the sisters at St Ann Orphanage and starting his business with your mother while still working elsewhere. Life had a different pace then. He created a lot of good in his life and his memory will live on in those he befriended like myself. May your family share in his good nature and be at peace with this moment in time.
My best wishes to you and yours

Family of George, Life is only a a blink of a eye, Yet many days have come and Gone, I know this Man was a good Husband and brought many wonderful kids to this world now the kids are grown and have there own wives and families. Now the wife and Love of George is left to attend to all the daily needs without the man she said I Do with, I always enjoyed talking to George ,he made time to stop and and tell me of his Devotion to our Blessed Mother and never liked the changes in our Church. I especially was glad to see him when he called off the dog as he nipped my leg.
May our Lord and Savior Comfort you all as this Great Man Passes on to the New Life and we all wait our Turn.
Happy Trails to you Amigo George until we meet Again.
Your Amigo Larry Martinez

We have remodeled two homes in Salt Lake and couldn't have done either one of them without the help of M-One Specialties. Certainly one of the best local businesses in the city.

Lou, I am sorry to hear that your father has passed. My brother was telling me that it was just a couple of weeks ago that they had gone to lunch. My brother went to school with George. He said that he looked good.
I am sure that you will miss him a lot but remember to cherish the memories.
Our love and prayers are with you.

Dear Mrs. Mattena,
I am George's rider on Sundays to Mass. How grateful I am for his kindness to me over these last few years. He told me so many great stories. I shall always remember his witness to the Catholic faith.
I wish I could be there for the gathering but my own father passed away the same day and I must be out of town. God bless you.
